Yahoo Poll: Are you ready to give up single-use plastic bags?
Four leading supermarket chains here have teamed up with the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) and DBS Bank in an effort to encourage consumers to switch from disposable plastic bags to reusable ones.
The inaugural “One Less Plastic” campaign will involve NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Shiong, Dairy Farm Singapore Group, which runs Cold Storage and Giant, and Prime Group International, which runs Prime Supermarket and Mahota. Customers who spend $50 or more at participating outlets can redeem a reusable bag, which tracks user behaviour so as to help consumers and retailers better tailor incentive their programmes.
A study released in July by the SEC found that more than 2 million plastic bags are taken from supermarkets in Singapore every day.
